"You will be asked to disclose your status during check-in " That is how it is written in the app... so it seems maybe that is the actual set protocol, not just people being complacent by not asking for proof .

you clearly have never been responsible for a toddler if you cant understand why this would make someone uncomfortable !

And that my friend is why you are destined to have a poor trip ! If you go in with that attitude the scale is already skewed too far to be subjective and actually see some good. GL to the friends who "Urged" you. Glass half full at its best

it has beeen 4 1/2 years since i was last there and I haven't kept good records of my travels , (wish I had ) , but it seems to me we were docked inside the harbor. Does that sound right ? Where would you expect we would be docking on the Explorer ? That is the part that is confusing me , is that I know I didn't pay a lot to get to Mambo but at the same time I also do not remember 20 minute walk. Possibly I caught a taxi at the terminal and found someone to share with to make about 5$ a piece ?

so those prices are posted for a party up to 4 people ... a poster on another thread stated these prices but stated per person... quite a difference !

Hello all. Second time doing the ABC's . I am really struggling with finding something to do on Bonaire this time around. We don't generally do a lot of excursions ,Some nice snorkel tours or Often times just look for a nice beach to chill for the day , or if it is a place we have been to multiple times we sometimes would enjoy just staying on and enjoying the more empty ship for the day .However In this case we are going to be doing B2B (Symphony followed by Explorer) , and I think that will be enuf ship time for sure. Also with Curacao and Aruba being such beautiful beach stops, the subpar beach we experienced last time around in Bonaire is not too enticing. Have looked through Viator , as well as ship sponsored tours and haven't seemed to come up with much of value. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Open to all ideas. Thx

Thx Top 20$ max seems a little more reasonable than $90

How much was the cost for the shared vans ? And were they easy to find for return to ship ?

Soooo... $90 US return cab fare per couple for a beach day is a great option ? Or because it is $90 , the bus would be a great option? Not sure which way to read this

Supper = Dinner

Unless my memory is skewed , in past sailings the Windjammer was never closed for that long a period at any point in the day. Hopefully If/when staffing issues get sorted out , they will shorten the closure period toward supper .

why would it matter for booking purposes ? just book 1 adult in each room . then sleep where you want. Connecting cabins = same room basically , when door is left open

Thx for all the info everyone

Sailing b2b on Symph/Explorer starting Sept.24. Both are switched to 5:30 early seating . There may be a few days out of 15 that 5:30 ends up a little too early based on port days ,in which case we may skip a couple nights at MDR , but looks like i'd just be rolling the dice counting on MTD working out for us the way I had hoped. Even if we got every night at the earliest 6:45 seating , that is too late for us as we generally take in the earlier shows . * Gotta give the point to Norwegian on this one.

based on everything i have been reading the past few weeks ... GL with that one, People are saying the WIFI is terribly unreliable

LMAO

You seem to be the exception

when do you sail ?

Curious, y do u say 2 weeks out is right in the sweet spot for that ? Would it not be "the earlier the better "for any requests ?

interesting perspective , but only valid if returning to the spot is important. I would argue that returning to the vast ocean that God created for us would be good enough for me. People get engaged (and married) on ships all the time! wonder how many look back and think what you've pointed out. Interesting thoughts

Were you able to switch once onboard , or ahead of time ?

Did you switch on the ship or ahead of time?

I'm thinkin i'm gonna attempt to get switched We are on 7 night Symphony followed by 8 night Explorer beginning Sept.24

Hi all; I have read some things lately that are bringing my selection of My Time dining into question...long waits, poor booking system etc. Most recently I read in another post that My Time only starts service at 6:45...? Is this true ,And if so , Is that standard across all ships ? Thx in advance

Just to note - In 03 and 05 Explorer and Voyageur were still among the largest
